Duffy

The arseholes on here don't know what they are talking about ?

Duffy was also on the left for Preston's first...

Wilder confessed we lost our shape in this period and it was important that the players realised what was happening. Our central midfield was all over the place and maybe we shouldn't have expected such an attack minded player to suddenly refocus and switch to a defensive/fight mentality.

My guess is that he didn't agree (or realise) that things were starting to go wrong, hence also disagreeing with the tactical changes following Johnson's substitution. Maybe he'll change his mind if he watches the game again.

That's predicated on seeing him as an attack minded player. I think at his best he's more effective doing defensive work. He just does it in offensive areas allowing us to overload and overwhelm opponents. When he tires he could be moved to a less demanding attacking position imo, and the defensive work would then pass to players in different positions; possibly in a different shape.

He’s lasted longer than 65 minutes in every game he’s started this season and he lasted until the 85th minute on Saturday.

Has Wilder ever said he keeps taking him off because he’s tired?

Dunno about the being tired bit.

But being hooked every time he starts, wether this is after 60,70 or 80 mins, raises suspicions that Wilder has doubts. Same with Sharp, who also rarely completes 90 minutes.

We have all seen the difference these 2 make to our side, and I do find it puzzling that this influence, in Wilders mind, rarely extends to the full 90 minutes.

So it’s understandable folks are asking why ??

Personally I felt that on Saturday Duffy had stopped putting as much work in when we got to 2-0 and I would’ve subbed him off way before Wilder did. If that wasn’t due to tiredness then he’s got nothing to complain about.

It could be managing them so they don’t burn out later in the season of course. They do all the monitoring of them so I trust them to get it right. We faded last season so maybe it’ll help us in the long run

I’m sure that he’ll bounce back.

Doubt it.

Duffy hates bouncing.

Scored and they were fucking shite

There you go, trying to rely on facts again........

 

[DronnieBlade]

He is constantly dragged after 65 minutes.

The myth that is he is buggered at this point is complete and utter bollox.

No one is more aware of this than Duffy himself, who will feel he has more to offer and will be cheesed off to be consistently denied the opportunity to do so.
